Housing

Project HOME's supportive housing programs offer permanent, subsidized housing for individuals and families who had been homeless. Most residents come to Project HOME from a safe haven, a shelter or from the streets. Since 2011, the Middleton Partnership has been the catalyst for unprecedented success in the effort to end chronic street homelessness in Philadelphia. Thanks to the Partnership, there will be more homes for vulnerable people living on the streets, with four residences already opened (James Widener Ray Homes, JBJ Soul Homes, Francis House of Peace, Ruth Williams House) to help persons experiencing homelessness and poverty in Philadelphia realize their full potential as fellow citizens and members of our community.

Project HOME has developed 802 units of affordable and supportive housing for persons who have experienced homelessness and low-income persons at-risk of homelessness in the City of Philadelphia; there are an additional 30 units under construction, 42 units in predevelopment and 170 units in the pipeline. Our goal is to complete 1,000 total units of affordable housing in the near future.

New & Noteworthy

For six winters, the Hub of Hope has served as a walk-in engagement center located in the concourses under Two Penn Center in Suburban Station. Since 2012, the Hub has had over 36,000 visits and facilitated 1,429 placements into shelter, treatment programs, and housing around the city.

In 2017, each of you has played a part in bringing us closer to ending chronic street homelessness in Philadelphia. We are proud to celebrate our work together in this, our Annual Report for Fiscal Year 2017.

We recently completed production of our inspiring new video, Coming HOME, and we hope it conveys our shared conviction that Philadelphia can be the first major city to end chronic street homelessness and that it serves as a source of inspiration for you. Happy watching!
